Interior of the St. Odulphuskerk in Assendelft, Seen from the Choir to the West — Pieter Jansz. Saenredam

Pieter Jansz. Saenredam. Painted 1649-10-02.

Bright, clear light fills this church, in which – as it happens – a sermon is being preached from the pulpit. Saenredam created a sense of space with his consistent use of perspective, in which all the orthogonal lines converge at the same point. This church was special to the painter: not only was he born in Assendelft, but the gravestone of his father, Jan Saenredam, bearing an inscription, can be seen in the right foreground.
